The hall was silent.
Everyone was stunned by Flender's words, except for Zhou Chen.
Zhu Zhuqing was a Soul Saint? A Soul Saint, revered among soul masters.
Almost every Soul Saint possessed the prowess to dominate on the battlefield, renowned in their own right. But they were typically middle-aged or older.
According to the records of the Spirit Hall, the youngest Soul Saint in a millennium was Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, who achieved his seventh soul ring and became a Soul Saint at the age of thirty-one.
But today, that record might be completely shattered, or rather, obliterated.
A teenage Soul Saint... At this age, Haotian Douluo probably hadn't even reached level 30.
Everyone did the math silently; even if one started cultivating from the womb, there wouldn't be enough time.
Perhaps she started cultivating in a past life!
"Sister Zhuqing, are you really a Soul Saint?" Xiao Wu asked incredulously, her red eyes wide with disbelief.
Despite all signs pointing to Zhu Zhuqing's strength, Xiao Wu was reluctant to believe it, as it defied her imagination!
In fact, everyone but Zhou Chen and Flender, who had directly tested Zhu Zhuqing, harbored doubts.
"Yes," Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment but nodded, speaking softly.
Since Flender had already revealed it, there was nothing left to hide.
Seeing the typically aloof Zhu Zhuqing admit it, Xiao Wu and Tang San felt as if their worldviews had shattered.
They once thought Brother Chen was the pinnacle of genius, but it turns out there's always someone better!
Tang San's mind raced, suddenly understanding why Zhou Chen had pursued Zhu Zhuqing.
Brother Chen must have recognized Zhu Zhuqing's formidable strength and aimed to live off a beautiful Soul Saint... and he succeeded.
In terms of living off others, I, Tang San, acknowledge Brother Chen's superiority!
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun was drenched in cold sweat, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with a mix of shock and fear.
He worried that she might have overheard the conversation he had with Oscar about her.
Seeing the students' stunned expressions, Flender took a deep breath and feigned calmness, "Alright, everyone settle down. It's just a Soul Saint; it's not like you haven't seen one before!"
Hearing this, Tang San and the others calmed slightly, then looked at Flender speechlessly.
The most shocked and flustered one was clearly you, Principal!
At that moment, Flender's gaze lingered between Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing. He suspected that Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Saint-level strength was linked to Zhou Chen.
"Principal Flender, as I said earlier, Zhuqing will be taking leave with me. Any objections?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Flender rolled his eyes internally. Even if he had objections, he wouldn't dare voice them!
Didn't you see that fierce little tigress is stronger than me?
"Alright, I agree," Flender forced a smile. To change the subject, he quickly gestured to Tang San, "Come with me. I need to discuss Little Gang... your teacher's matters."
"Okay," Tang San nodded, bidding farewell to Zhou Chen and the others before quickly following Flender into the academy.
"Let's leave too, Zhuqing," Zhou Chen wrapped an arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist and said tenderly, "You've never been to the Heaven Dou Empire, right? On this trip to Heaven Dou City, I'll show you the sights along the way."
"Okay," Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly. Traveling with someone she loved was a dream for many girls.
However, she hesitated and then considerately said, "Traveling is nice, but don't let it delay your plans in Heaven Dou City."
"It won't," Zhou Chen reassured her with a warm smile.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the academy, Oscar and Ning Rongrong were running around the village.
"Oscar, how far is one lap exactly?" Ning Rongrong asked with a hint of frustration. She didn't expect the lap to be this long.
Had she known, she wouldn't have been so headstrong.
Hearing her question, Oscar chuckled bitterly, "Don't ask. With your physical condition, you definitely can't finish. But don't worry, my sausage can help replenish your strength. Want some?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. She could tell Oscar was trying to curry favor with her.
But really, does everyone think they can pursue me?
Are you as handsome as Brother Zhou Chen? Are you as strong as Brother Zhou Chen? Are you as smart and capable as Brother Zhou Chen?
Thinking this, Ning Rongrong disdainfully glanced at Oscar, but he mistook it for a flirtatious look.
Believing Ning Rongrong was interested in him, Oscar eagerly said, "I have a big sausage."
In a flash of light, a fragrant sausage appeared in his hand, which he offered to Ning Rongrong.
Seeing the sausage, Ning Rongrong felt nauseated. She sneered, "I have two big buns. Get lost!"
With that, she summoned her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, boosting her stamina and speed, and dashed away like the wind.
Oscar was stunned by Ning Rongrong's words.
He hadn't expected such a goddess with elegant temperament to be so straightforward, a true little vixen.
With a wry smile, Oscar ran after her, trying to continue the conversation, the quintessential sycophant.
Little did he know that a sycophant might succeed when the goddess had no other interest.
But since Ning Rongrong already had Zhou Chen as her target, Oscar's attempts would only end in failure...
